This is a nice World War One era French Infantry Model 1886 kepi in excellent condition. This is the lower height style kepi they first started using after phasing out the floppy or "bummer" type kepis. This style was only worn for a short time during WWI into the early 1920's. This example is a high quality kepi, most likely a private purchase. Interior has a faux leather sweatband and no manufacturers markings
